Ok Sounds like I might be getting a 82 Turbo Z! One downside is its auto so Im wondering with a n/a 5 speed trans from 83 work on a 82 turbo?

 

Yep. All L-Series transmissions can interchange w/ all L-Series motors. When swapping from auto to manual, you have to remove the crank to flexplate adapter to install the flywheel & clutch. You also have to do something w/ the inhibitor switch so you can start the car. I think Fubar made a thread about the auto to manual swap.

EDIT... oh yeah, don't forget to swap the driveline & diff flange too.

 

Ok I'll look for the thread in the mean time, how do I add that extra pedal? I take it the mounting locations already there?

Oh and I really should have said, will that transmission hold up?

 

you need the whole pedal assembly. i have a manual pedal assembly for an 82 i believe. errr... actually i mighta sold that already. now im not sure..... lol but its a brake and clutch pedal on the same assembly.

 

Remember that 83 I have? Well Its parts now for that turbo car lol Im parting it out entirely then Im just gonna cut it up I guess. at lest I dont have to goto a junk yard for all my parts!

 

cool... or go all out and add an S30 to the equation and mix parts from the 2 S130's to make a nice turbo S30. that would be best

 

If I can find an S30

 

I have the clutch pedal/master cylinder assembly for a 280ZXT.

 

Is there any diff in a 82 n/a assembly?

 

Oh no, I don't even know why I put ZXT. Pedal assemblys are the same.

 

Ah ok no worries lol

 

The 82 & 83 parts should be interchangable. The clutch/brake assembly is one piece & will mount to the frame under the dash. You will have to change the speed O cable probably. Also change out the ECU (computer). I also think there will be some wiring differences, but don't quote me on that. There are several indivs on the forum who know more about that than me. If you are going to swap out the tranny you might as well get an lighter flywheel (since you have to replace it anyways), as they sell on Ebay & several parts store the Alumimun (poor spelling), and get a racing clutch since I think you want a faster car? If you do your homework and not rush into the project you will be able to acquire all the parts & knowledge before starting the project. That will save you both time and money. Good luck and don't be afraid to as questions as that's how you learn. Dan

 

Ok thanks! Tho it doesnt matter sense I got the car for the swap but now I know what to do
